Event Description
Encryption can be easy! In this meet up we will teach you the basics of encrypting your content, then we will concentrate on making it easy for you to use crypto with **your** environment. Once we help you through the hard part, you'll be able to encrypt messages at home safely without frustration.
This is a hands-on meetup with PGP.
What should I bring?
- A willingness to learn or to teach
- A laptop. If you don't have one, let us know and we can try to scrounge up an extra one for you.
- (optional) A current news story that you want to discuss with the group related to privacy/security/surveillance/censorship
